Imaging update...

Not much really new to discuss since the last posting (we will ignore that it has been 2.5 months between postings). The days are getting longer and the sun visits more often.
Probably the most interesting news is the unveiling (such as it is) of the Red Wing Digital Studio web site. RWDS will be the collection point for all of the digital projects. It will be a slow unroll as I look for space.
Otherwise it has been a challenging winter. It snowed often enough between severe cold weather snaps that the snow became in-cacked on the ground, mixed with sand. Not very attractive.
I upgraded both camera and software technologies. In the case of the camera, I needed to. In the case of the software, I had to. Subtle, but important difference.
From a creativity standpoint, I have spent more time working on other people's projects than my own. For a lot of reasons (mostly financial), this is a better mix. The bigger the better.
Life is good.

Deliquent postings...

Well, an inactive blog is almost pointless. The elections are over, the first snow is on the ground and it has been 5 months since my last confession, er, I mean my last posting.
The studio has been very busy, especially with new photo-printing technologies. We are experimenting with both rigid-surface and fabric printing and learning the limitations of both. We have also become involved in a couple of photojournalism projects, which is a particular interest of mine.
I think the important take-away is that things continue to be interesting and for whatever reason, it is been an especially productive and creative past couple of months.
Be that as it may, I will make a better effort to keep this web site more current and more interesting.

This is kind of cool. It is an aerial photo of downtown Red Wing the day after a spring snowfall. This gives you the lay of the land in regards to where things are located relative to each other.
Studio update

My apologies for taking this long to update this portion of the web site. My intention from this point forward is to be much more disciplined about posting news, updates or anything of particular interest.
So, of particular interest today is the change in locations of the Framing Gallery. The Red Wing Portrait Studio will continue to have a traditional portrait studio, a natural light studio (image above) and our outdoor studio at our original locations. Clients are encouraged to call ahead at 1-651-385-0500 and meet either at the framing shop or the portrait studios.
Thanks again for your patience.
